Brooklinen, a leader in the direct-to-consumer home essentials market, is renowned for its luxury-grade products and hassle-free shopping experience. With their expanding product lines and rising sales, the challenge of increased fraud and policy abuse arose. Customers, attracted by the premium comfort, contributed to significant growth, but this popularity also made Brooklinen a target for resellers and reshippers. These individuals took advantage of loopholes to purchase items and resell them on third-party platforms at either discounted or inflated prices, ultimately impacting Brooklinen's brand integrity and revenue.
